We applied for postal votes but were lazy and didn't do it in time for them to arrive before I went to Canada. Sou didn't feel comfortable faking my signature Luckily I was returning today, so I was able to hand my postal vote in at the polling station.

18 hours of solid travelling and I was up for more than 30 hours, but I got it in!

It's entirely mutual, btw. The nagging about the EU while paying less and getting more than everyone else is getting really old. I am very tempted to say don't let the door hit you on the way out.*
Still the EU needs the UK too, if only because of the domino effect it would have.

I have no idea what to think. I did hear one tidbit that said the actual outlay is something like 2% of the budget, so a bit of a tempest in a teapot. I don't know if that is reflective of reality or not though.

I hope it doesn't, solely for the fact that a)it'll blow up in everyone's faces, b)so many friends and family already perilously close to broke as it is, and c)I WAS hoping to emigrate in the next 5 or so years.

-market crash + onerous terms of exit scares the bejeesus out of them
-new election is called, Conservatives + UKIP fucked up so much that Labour wins (helped partly by Conservative/UKIP chaos and vote splitting)
-election of new gov't is seen as a referendum on the referendum
-UK looks foolish, but decides to stay

It needs to blow up a bit, not for the benefit of the UK(t)* but to make voters in other EU countries think twice about doing the same. Which lots of them are now going to do.

But either way,

-idiot voters full of hatred still hate the government and the "experts" and the darkies, and the establishment politicians still have no fucking clue

Cameron has lead us into utter disaster, and then resigned. Thanks Dave.
